Definitions
- the present invention relates to a vehicle component made of fiber-reinforced plastic with a matrix of thermosetting or thermoplastic material and reinforcing fibers, which are arranged in the matrix.
- the body shells of today's vehicles are composed of metal sheets, which are preferably used according to the prior art sheets of steel.
- the total weight of a metal sheet which are preferably used according to the prior art sheets of steel.
- bodies and their structural components are increasingly formed from fiber reinforced plastics.
- FVB damaged fiber composite components
- the invention proposes a vehicle component made of fiber-reinforced plastic with a matrix of thermosetting or thermoplastic material and reinforcing fibers, which are arranged in the matrix. At least one repair marking may be provided on the surface of the vehicle component. As a result, predetermined locations are defined at which the vehicle component can be severed in the event of damage. At these points, the vehicle component can be severed and use a repair part, so that the mechanical properties of the repaired vehicle component differ only slightly from those of the original, undamaged vehicle component. Carbon fibers, glass fibers, aramid and / or basalt fibers are particularly suitable as fibers.
- the repair mark may be formed as a local projection and / or as a local recess of pure matrix material.
- the means in the manufacture of the component, a pre-impregnated fiber mat in a tool is formed while the resin is hardened or solidified, in this form may be a tool falling
- Repair marking can be realized as a projecting area or as a deepening area.
- the repair marks may also be formed on a vehicle component manufactured in a resin transfer molding (RTM) process.
- RTM resin transfer molding
- a non-prepreg i. Place a dry fiber mat in an RTM tool and then soak in resin.
- the cavity forming inner wall of the RTM tool has recesses and / or protrusions negative that map as positive on the surface of the vehicle component manufactured in the RTM tool.
- repair marks are realized tool falling.
- the invention relates to a method of repairing a damaged fiber-reinforced plastic vehicle component, comprising the steps of identifying a damaged area, identifying repair marks that do not damage the damaged area
- the severing of the damaged area can be carried out by mechanical cutting of the vehicle component along the repair marking, in particular by sawing, cut-off grinding, water jet cutting or lasers. Furthermore, the repair part can be introduced in shock between the undamaged areas of the vehicle component. As a result, a smooth transition to the joints can be generated on the repaired vehicle component, whereby the repair is optically laminated.
- the repair part may be so with the undamaged
- Shown schematically are: a side view of a side frame of a
- 3a shows a sectional view through a repaired vehicle component
- FIG. 3b a detail view of the detail D of Figure 3a.
- a vehicle component 10 is shown in the form of a side frame of a motor vehicle. This side frame is made of fiber-reinforced
- the side frame may be integrally formed as a single vehicle component 10 or a plurality of individual ones
- Fig. 1 shows a side view of a component 10 according to the present invention.
- vehicle components are vehicle structural components, such as lateral ribs.
- the side frame 10 has a plurality of repair marks 11, which are shown in FIG. 1 as double strokes.
- Repair marks 1 1 are preferably formed as elevations or projections in the form of tear lines.
- the repair marks 11 are formed in Reinharzgeometrie. That is, in the field of
- Repair marks 1 1 the component 10 has only matrix material which is not reinforced with fibers. Because the fibers are not through the
- Repair marks 1 1 run, this has the advantage that these markers 11 can be designed in a variety of geometries, without having to take account of fiber gradients and the like. The freedom of design is thereby substantially increased. Of course, 11 fibers may be provided in this area. In this case, however, fiber-fair design boundary conditions are to be considered.
- the repair marks 11 define individual areas 21 of the
- the lower portion of the side frame 10 is shown as a damaged portion 20, wherein in Figure 1, the damage is not visible. However, damage can also occur on one of the non-damaged areas 12.
- the damaged area 20 is cut out of the side frame 10, for example by means of a cutting tool such as a
- Cut-off grinder or a water jet cutter In this case, along the course of the repair marks 11 of the side frame 10 is separated and the damaged area 20 is removed. Thereafter, the adhesive surfaces are sanded and cleaned if necessary.
- FIG. 1 An exemplary repair part 20R is shown in FIG. This part corresponds geometrically approximately to the damaged and separated-out area 20 and is used in a first variant of the repair method on impact between the undamaged areas 21 of the vehicle component 10.
- support members 22 are used to create a strong bond between the repair part 20R and the undamaged areas 20, support members 22 are used. These support members 22 connect the repair portion 20R to the adjacent undamaged portions 20, with each support member 22 at least partially overlapping a portion of the undamaged portion 20 and a portion of the repair portion 20R as shown in Figures 3a and 3b.
- the support member 22 may be formed as a coupling element, for example made of steel, aluminum or fiber-reinforced plastic.
- the repair component 20R is connected to the vehicle component 10 such that it overlaps the undamaged regions 20 at least in sections.
- the repair part 20R is geometrically larger than the gap left by the damaged area 20 in the side frame.
- corresponding repair parts are maintained for all areas.
- the repairers have a selection of prefabricated repair parts that can be used as replacement parts and can thus orient themselves directly to the repair marks without having to use templates.
- the vehicle components 10 are generally manufactured in the resin transfer molding (RTM) process. In this procedure becomes a dry one
- fiber-reinforced vehicle components 10 can also be produced by the so-called wet pressing method.
- a preimpregnated blank for example.
- a pre-impregnated fiber mat, a so-called prepreg is inserted into a pressing tool.
